i think both sides accomplished what they wanted out of that debate and the stage is set for tuesday which is important to see how the president handles it, whether romney can colt -- consolidate what he started to build. >> what is the prep work going into tuesday's debate. the president needs a strong performance. >> there's universal opinion about that and agreement about that. it's striking that the president, we haven't seen him much in the past five days. i think he's studying very hard. he needs to show he's a different kind of debater with more command and it's not just style here. i think substantively, he needs to go to work on what his agenda would look like in a second term and taking down some of the arguments on the romney side. if there's been a consistent strategy from the obama campaign which is to disqualify romney. >> you're going to have steven colbert on your show today and he should have an interesting take on all of this. >> he does. we talked to him in character and out of character. he's a very astute analyst of the political scene and the campaign and money

both campaigns agree with. this obama actually has the advantage in population in electoral votes even though romney has more states in that count. that leaves 14 states, nine of which are the battle grounds in which this campaign is basically being waged. that's where the appearances are. that's where the money is being spent. there are an additional five states, michigan is among them, pennsylvania, new mexico, arizona, where the sides don't agree that their foregone conclusions they're not really spending a great deal of resources. those nine states, they've been consistently those nine states over the course of the year. i think that's one of the things that's most interesting, it's been narrow and consistent throughout the year. >> so andy, this new report that mitt romney and the gop are really doubling and tripling their ad buys in several of the swing states with 24 days to go until the election, how much impact does all this ad money really have on voters? >> well, voters especially in those nine battl
